The Planning and Law Division of the American Planning Association is pleased to host the upcoming webcast Planning for Religious Uses Under The Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Persons Act. Information about the webcast is below:

Enacted
in 2000, the Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA)
has significantly affected the ways in which local governments plan for
religious uses. In some cases, local governments have capitulated under the
threat of RLUIPA litigation. In many others, local governments have instead
vigorously defended their comprehensive plans of development and review of
religious land use applications against such claims. The presenters, who advise
local governments and represent religious land use applicants, will explain
several different strategies and approaches that can be used to avoid RLUIPA
litigation, including through revisions to local zoning codes and accommodating
religious uses when appropriate. The presenters, all with RLUIPA litigation
experience, will also discuss the different types of RLUIPA claims, the life of
an RLUIPA case from start to finish, and approaches that they have found
successful.
